The hiccups PNM is going through have more to do with Keith Rowley’s failure to lead than Patrick Manning’s political intransigence and nostalgia for power.

Rowley is turning out to be an inefficient and perhaps uninspiring leader for which the PNM will pay dearly if he does get his act together. Rowley believes that leadership consists in attacking continuously and vehemently everything the Government does (and does not do); holding an occasional press conference; and calling on the government to fire every one from office. In some cases he is right; in others he is irrelevant. If the government takes his advice soon there will be few office holders.

Perhaps it was an omen for the future when, after the PNM’s defeat in the last local government elections (2010), Rowley claimed that the PNM lost because it did not have enough evidence of PP’s failures. This was a negative strategy. He seemed to suggest, “Just wait until they begin to govern, then we will have sufficient ammunition to attack them.” This is exactly the path he is following.

But is this a sufficient strategy on which to become the next government?

Leadership consists of a different mettle. A leader must be able to inspire and fortify his troops with uplifting sentiments and, more importantly, an alternate vision of the world. He must be prepared to devote his life to his work. This is what Dr. Williams did. He did not start his political career only by attacking the government in power (1950-5). He also offered systematic, well-worked out programs in economic development; constitution reform; race relations; and the pros and cons of a West Indian Federation.

Rowley has not outlined one policy initiative. For example, what is PNM’s position on public sector wage negotiations? Rowley’s political mode is attack, attack, attack. All one sees within the PNM is a tendency to cannibalize its own, something for which the PDP, ULF and the UNC were famous years ago. The “he say, she say” of the last General Council was the worse manifestation of this behavior.

When he learnt Ravina was 17 years old, his response was “GET AH LIFE” … “IS CARNIVAL”

…………NEWSDAY………………

Is CarnivalBy Clint Chan Tack Thursday, February 19 2015OPPOSITION Leader Dr Keith Rowley yesterday dismissed criticisms, calling them “mischief”, raised on social media of him in the company of a young woman while they were playing mas with Wendy and Ivan Kalicharan’s band Bazodee in San Fernando on Carnival Tuesday.

Several pictures of Rowley frolicking with members of the band were posted on social media. But the one that created the problem was a picture with a young female masquerader.

Speaking with Newsday, Rowley said he was aware of the photos and the criticisms that some people were making about them on social media. “I think they should get a life and stop fantasising about mischief they wish they could create over an innocent Carnival encounter in a roving band full of friends and strangers of all walks of life having a good time.”

After insulting the nation Women and numerous calls for him to apologize his response was, “IT’s A DISTRACTION” and “IS OF VERY LITTLE PUBLIC INTEREST”

……………EXPRESS……………OPPOSITION Leader Dr Keith Rowley is calling on citizens not to be distracted by the “cat” comment controversy which he has labelled as a matter of “very little public interes¬t”.“The matter that you are referring to, as far as I am concerned, is of very little public interest. It is being misrepresented by the handlers of the Prime Minister and her party,” Rowle¬y said.

http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/EMAILGATE-208246301.htmlHe said the Integrity Commission was also critical because the e-mails pointed to misbehaviour in public office. “I also call on the Integrity Commission to discharge its responsibility...And insofar as there is no Integrity Commission in place, I call on the President to immediately ensure that there is an Integrity Commission in place so that these matters can be investigated properly in short order”.

http://www.trinidadexpress.com/videos/---ROWLEY-KNOCKS-TOP-COP----214697931.htmlThe Opposition Leader, Dr. Keith Rowley, again insists that the Integrity Commission is the proper body to investigate Emailgate.He was responding to comments attributed to the Acting Commissioner of Police, Stephen Williams, that the thread of email is fake.Dr. Rowley said Mr. Williams' 'conclusions' as to the authenticity of the emails are "premature at best."

Rowley had stated in his contribution that the Integrity Commission was the best avenue for investigation of the matter. But he did not reveal to the Parliament that he had met Gordon. That information came last Thursday from Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal.

Trusting in the believability of the content of the alleged conversations, the PNM leader always expected some other agency to undertake such investigations as he was himself capable only of calling for. These authorities included the President, the Integrity Commission and, eventually the T&T police.Indeed, Dr Rowley made clear his lack of faith and trust in the capacity of the overstressed and under-resourced T&T police to carry out the “Emailgate” investigations. It was, he insisted a matter properly to be undertaken by the Integrity Commission, when that body would have equipped itself with expert legal help.
